A mosquito net is a protective barrier made from fine mesh fabric designed to prevent mosquitoes and other insects from entering a specific area, typically a bed or sleeping area. These nets are commonly used in tropical and subtropical regions where mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus are prevalent.

The mesh is woven tightly enough to block mosquitoes and other small insects from passing through, yet still allows for visibility and airflow, ensuring comfort for the user.
